Action, Reaction and Consequences Ch. 08

... personnel within the Government are poking around asking about Tanya and Mickey?"

"No, I can't. Do you think Matt has blabbed to someone along the way? I wasn't there when Matt first rocked up but Mickey did ask me to do some digging into Matt. Luckily, the story about the tattoo and being a college boyfriend worked and cut that down. I was hoping that Mickey was going to finish him but he didn't. If he shows his face again though, Mickey has made it clear, he's a dead man so, hopefully he'll keep the fuck away. But what are you going to do about what she's asking? Do you want me to sort it?"

"No, let it ride a bit longer. At least I can keep tabs on her by coming here but, it'll come down to you if we lose this link here other than the coded messages in the catalogues. Paulie, just remember what I said. Remember what side of the fence you're supposed to be on. Find a way to get what we need."

Lucas Jones left with a plan forming. Smith made it clear where the weak link was and he was going to exploit it. He put two and two together to understand when it was likely that Mickey would reveal to Tammi either what was on this SD card or even better, its location. In his plan he wasn't changing sides, he was going out on his own and would take everything with him he possibly could. In the meantime, who was doing some digging in the background? He would look over some of Matt's friends to see if it was somehow related to them.

On the way he spoke to Tanya.

... going to go out of his way to let you see Matt, said it's too risky. I don't know about you but, I've had enough of this shit. I can help you if you help me. We are supposed to be going to Dubai on Friday - what if I get you and me a 'hall pass' for a couple of days not to go, hook you up with Matt so you can iron things out? In return, you'll double down to find this SD card. Knowing Mickey, it won't be in a safe, he's too clever for that. I'll try and dig around in Dubai for it, you try and dig at home. If you find it, come to me, not Smith, OK?"

"If you can get me a couple of days with Matt then sure, I'll come on board."

On Wednesday Lucas Jones told Mickey he was following some leads up on some intel and would be back in touch Thursday before they flew out to Dubai on the Friday. He also asked if Mickey felt sure that Matt was fully out of the picture and Tammi wouldn't try to connect with him, he wanted to plant a small seed of doubt with Mickey.

Early on Thursday, Lucas travelled back to Peterborough, dressed as a doctor with a stolen set of ID and carefully entered a care home room. He injected a patient with a toxin that would cause a heart attack. Before she was dead, Lucas was out and travelling back southwards down the M11 motorway towards Essex.

A few hours later the care home called the only known next of kin, Tammi, to inform her of her mother's death. Tammi acted like the distraught daughter. An hour later Lucas called Mickey to confirm the details ...
